I would love some feedback on this.
I am proudly on day 7 (WOO HOO!) and going strong. My cravings have significantly lowered. I'm on the patch and am going to wait a few more days before I evaluate where I am at (to continue, decrease the dose ect.). I am not successful because of the patch. I am successful because of the support on this website and helping me build my inner strength. You guys rock 🙂
My brain is starting to unlearn the habit. Today, I had lunch and then went into the family room to continue my conversation with a friend. Didn't even think about what I would have done after lunch 7 days ago. Awesome!! Sometimes though, I hit these blank walls. Instead of my addiction triggering a craving it just goes blank. Like it's waiting for me to create a new habit in place. It makes me feel spacy. Has anyone else felt this way?
I'm normally pretty sharp and I'm positive that this will pass but I just wanted to get an idea of how normal it is. By no means am I complaining (I would much rather be spacy than a smoker) but it just feels a little weird. Like reaching for the hot sauce instead of the coffee creamer in the morning kind of weird?
....that analogy just made me lose my appetite 🙂 Have a great weekend everyone!!!
